I have the Steam version of Painter and Designer. Having previously had Allegorthmic versions, I had a bunch of asset points on source.substance3D.com. Those are all gone now, due to the change in January that wiped all points. If I want to download asset now, it seems the only option I have is to subscribe to the full Substance subscription, which gives access to the apps that I already have. How are users with perpeutual licenses (from steam or earlier versions) meant to acquire assets from substance3d.adobe.com/assets these days?
I bought a drawing tablet, only to find that I couldn’t pan the view, and rotating the view was also very inconvenient. I suggest modifying it to be like Blender—so that drawing tablet users can operate completely without a keyboard, mouse, or virtual keyboard. This would be really user-friendly.Efficiency has improved a lot.
TOPIC: FINDING TEXT IN ONLINE MANUAL What exactly should I type in the search box to search ONLY SUBSTANCE PAINTER and for the TEXT I do not know what they mean https://helpx.adobe.com/substance-3d-painter/interface/assets/advanced-search-queries.htmlthis page makes me feel encredibly stupid. What will I type in to search only the online manual for the app ? not everything else ? I want to search the online manual just like I used to search a PDF book. is it possible ?
I'm just reporting so either AMD or Adobe will take this into accountability for once despite users keep saying everywhere that this application doesn't work well in AMD at all. Substance Painter keeps crashing the video drivers when working with many layers and not so many. Most likely when exporting textures and despite of that, the huge amount of ram that eats from the system doesn't make any sense when you are only working with 3 or 4 layers with a full textured character. Issues:If the gpu reach 100% the gpu crashes if you export textures in 4k + padding, crashes tooIf the ram reaches 100% same crash (I have upgraded the ram and crashes still happening!)undervolt untouched and touched same crashes. I was painting in a layer the other day and the whole screen freezed then turned black and have to wait until it fixes by itself with a driver crash window. Doesn't matter which version of adobe I have, newer or older same crashes, same for amd

This has been asked for for years and years now and it has been aknoledged a billion times.When will we finally see actual non-square texture support ? This is such an important feature to have in game development, I have no idea how this isnt a number 1 priority. This should be a basic functionallity for any serious game development texturing software.The only way of getting half descent results is by changing UV transformation settings inside each and every layer to a power of 2 ratio, which is a ridiculously tedious task on complex models and doenst solve all problems every time.Setting Texture Set Settings to non-square doenst make any meaningfull difference as it is not reflected in the 2D and 3D viewport.Test best results i could come up with was using clinched UVs and non-square bakes, with square Texture Set and export settings, while changing UV transform settings to the power of 2 .How does no one seem to care ?Is there a magic plugin everyone but me knows about ?&n
Hello, I have a question about UV mapping in Substance Painter. As in the attached video, if there are two or more identical star-shaped meshes with front and back sides, what would be the ideal way to map the UVs for the meshes? In the video, the front and back UVs are separated and positioned far apart, while the left and right UVs are overlapped. Will there be any errors or problems when baking in Substance Painter? Is it always better to split the UVs into four without overlapping them? Thank you in advance.
Hello, I’m encountering an issue with my height map. Every time I bake my high poly map, the topology of my low poly is visible. I’ve tried everything, from exporting to adjusting the bake settings, but I don’t understand why. I’m using 3ds Max to export my low poly, and in Substance, I get an error message that appears. Have you ever faced this issue? And do you have a solution?

Hi folks and sorry if this was asked already, but I can't seem to find a real answer anywhere online... 😅 I'm thinking of buy the perpetual license of substance 3d painter on Steam and was wondering how "perpetual" that license is? I've heard many conflicting stories online, can someone clarify please?Once the 2026 version is released and I buy it, I will have the license to use this product until the 2027 version is released, making this perpetual license actually more of an "annual license"?Or will the 2026 version live alongside the 2027 version? Or will my 2026 version be converted into the 2027 version?Or something else entirely 😅 I'd love to know! Thank you in advance 👍
Bonjour, j'ai ajouter un high poly pour simuler mes bevel sur mon low poly, mais il ne sont pas visible après le bake. Je n'ai pas utilisé de cage pour infos, j'ai laissé les valeurs de base. Merci de votre aide
A few days ago I requested the code for Adobe Substance 3D For Students and Teachers, I followed the steps and registered and after a few hours later received the code, but when I tried to use it on the "identit-e" page, it indicated that the code was incorrect, after several attempts the page ended up blocking my IP. I contacted the "identit-e" technical suport by email and they told me that the code did not appear in their system but my IP is still blocked. I have already requested that they unblock my IP but I still have the problem that the code is incorrect, I need help to solve this and be able to study
The "Send To" feature is missing from the file menu in Substance Painter. All software is updated and freshly installed today from Adobe Creative Cloud with official licensing. I've restarted my PC multiple times. I need to send it directly from substance painter to stager. Thank you.
HelloI have a question. When using Substance Painter, I can use it without any lag for the first 15-30 minutes after launching the app (up to about 16 seconds in the attached video). However, after a certain amount of time, the app starts to slow down. Specifically, whenever I use Alt+left click, Alt+right click, or any other combination to move the viewpoint, the initial response stutters and slows down (starting about 20 seconds in the attached video). This also occurs when I reduce the resolution to a drastic level, such as 128.After this occurs, restarting the app and opening the same project always fixes the issue, but the lag returns after a certain amount of time. This "initial response slowness" issue sometimes occurs when changing transform values, etc., while using AE.This issue occurs regardless of the project or resolution. Could it be due to cache or Autosave settings? The specs are as shown in the attached image, and when I check performance in Ta
I keep getting this error when I bake in painter:[BakingProcess] Can't create a resource from the baker result: Failed to write temporary image at C:/Users/16508/AppData/Local/Temp/SubstancePainter-Tmp-DJZjnZ: Unknown errorI've tried baking on other computers and it works just fine. It is only my computer that isn't baking the models correctly and I get stuck with this error. I get this same error with other models not just this specific file. I have no idea how to fix this I've already tried getting help from other professors at my university.
When I bake, only the CPU percentage increases, and it seems like the GPU isn't starting up. How do I change the settings in Windows or the app?In the NVIDIA Control Panel, I've added the Substance Painter app, and in the Substance Painter settings, I have both CPU and GPU checked for IRAY HARDWARE.Thank you in advance.
I activated a student license but I only get the options to buy or trial Substance Painter through the creative cloud. I've tried logged in as both account types - student and business - yet the result is the same.
Hi all,am i right that in Substance painter its noch possible to have Backface culling while using Polygon fill option directly in the 3D view?I mean is this option not deadly usefull and nessecary?With best
I've been searching for this for a while now and it seems there's only a backface culling toggle option for the paint brush in SP, but for all other fill options like polygon, uv_chunk, triangle and object, backface culling is still missing after all these years. Seems like a basic funcionality for a 3D paint app like Substance to me. Could we please have this fixed, this drives me nuts, I keep screwing up my textures and masks. Thanks, R.
I have purchased a Substance Painter 2025 subscription on Steam, but I need to install version 7.4.3. for learning purposes and to export my homework correctly to my teacher.How can I install 7.4.3? Please help.I know that older versions are being removed on Steam, but what should I do if I have already paid for a subscription? Maybe you can give me access to beta version 7.4.3?
Greetings, i'd like some help with the following problem. Substance crashes keeps crashing when doing the simplest things. The program doesn't actually close and i can still save the project, but the viewport is filled with black and green squares and i can't interact with any other funcion. Sometimes it only takes a few seconds after launching the program, but the crashes ocurr mostly when applying white or black masks, changing the view of the camera in the viewport or simply when moving around. I'm not the most tech savy, so i'm not sure if the following data helps. PC specs:APU1AMD Radeon(TM) GraphicsPrimary/Integrated/Hybrid VRAM1512 MBDDR4 1600 MHz GPU2AMD Radeon RX 6600MDiscrete/Hybrid VRAM28176 MBGDDR6 1750 MHz CPUAMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics8 Cores RAM16 GB
Hi, This week I applied for a student license for substance painter. It got approved, and tried to download it. The problem is that I use Ubuntu, and it turns out I have to pay 150 dollars extra as a student, just because I use Linux. Costumer support told me that my plan only allows mac and windows installs, but I can pay for the Steam version to get it for Ubuntu. This means they do have a native Linux build that is perfectly functional, but choose to not make it available because reasons... I guess?? The sad part is that many people choose Linux becuse they can't affford windows or an apple computer, and adobe makes these people pay extra just becuase they can. This is just pure evil. Like can't they just give a steam key for Ubuntu if they have problems putting the linux build on their site or something?? But no, they choose not to.
Hi, since the Painter can be quite heavy, I need to change the autoback save folder on an other drive.I do that from the Javascript menu seen in the images bellow. I also make sure to check the box that says to always use that folder. The issue is that this setting doesn't save. It reverts to it's initial default folder every time I open Painter. If I forget to do it, my C drive can get eaten alive by all those very heavy Painter files. Am I missing something here? any help would be appreciated. Hopefully this can be fix! Thanks!
I have tried disabled GPU Raytracing under Baking Options but still I get these strange lines in the Substance Painter viewports after baking. They seem to be in the Ambient Occlusion map. Also I set "Self Occlusion" to "Only Same Mesh name". How can I fix this?
